Harold's Club, did any of you meet the Smiths?

Since this Hobby is so huge I sometimes find myself going after a "splinter" area of the Hobby. One odd obsession I've had for a few years is Harold's Club (I never made it to the casino but doesn't stop me from collecting stuff from there).

I think I have 10 - 12 copies of "I Want to Quit Winners", the book written by Harold Smith Sr. I have a copy of book signed by Harold Sr. a copy signed by Harold Jr. and one signed by Pappy Smith. It was my understanding that Harold Sr. used to give away copies of the book all the time (by the way this book has multiple reprints).

So the question, did anyone on the board meet the Smiths? Any good personal stories?

BTW there was a movie made about Harold's Club (released this year) and there are 1 - 2 Facebook pages devoted to Harold's Club.

Thanks.
